Around 4,700 athletes from around 50 nations will compete at the European Championships across 176 medal events.

The Championships, due to take place from August 11 to 21 next year, will unite the existing senior championships of nine of the continent's leading sports "under one roof" in Munich, 50 years after the German city hosted the Summer Olympics.

Next year’s Championships will feature a packed calendar for athletes with the World Championships and Commonwealth Games among the events scheduled.

The European Championships would be the final event of a mooted "triple" for athletes featuring at all three competitions.
